individualism. his idea of rugged individualism is wearing sandals in faculty hours, waiting for a check instead of earning one. this is the attitude of somebody who has never had a real job. >> kimberly: or managed a payroll. anything of the sort like that. all right. dana, what do you think? is this the message he should send out? will it resonate? does it work for america? >> dana: i thought of this as the john kerry moment of the 2004 campaign. when john kerry said at a town hall meeting "i voted before the war before i voted against it." bush campaign said bingo, that's the message. he is a flip-floper and carried through president bush's re-election. when this was said on saturday and the media nodded, okay. nobody paid attention to it. by sunday afternoon, wait a second. conservative media, start to say excuse me, what did he say? now everybody is covering it, because it's like what he said in kansas.

you remember way back he gave a speech in kansas. this is what he really thinks. then that is clarifying. probably good for the campaign, because now we can focus on what i call the entree, we've been talking about side dish farce while. the entree will come down to this. the vision of america do you think we want to have. >> kimberly: this is a compelling vision? how is this going to work for the american people,eric? does he have any facts and figures to back this up. >> eric: go back to what this is. in 2008, october, he said i'm going to fund machine tally change america -- fundamentally change america. we said that's interesting because we're not sure we want fundamental change. we like capitalism and free markets. but he perceived over the last four years he tried to change america. he usurped the constitution, applied taxes without using congress. and this. this statement right there, the most important thing he has ever said. you are not successful, because you work hard, because you risk your own capital because you hire people because you have innovation. cooperation, you are

successful because the government has helped you. that man is a sadist. he believes the only reason that america is where we are because of government. he's flat-out wrong. >> kimberly: bob, the rhetoric sounds like he is running for president of venezuela. >> bob: put it in context. it didn't hear him say one thing in government. steve jobs and bill gates had help from parents and startup from other people. and banks that gave out loan for small business administration. $1 trillion to small brizs to get started -- small businesses to get started. >> eric: he didn't say banks. he said teachers, government -- i think everything but -- >> bob: i think what he is trying to say when you become successful you look back on the trail, i don't think anybody has been successful that does not look back and say i got help. >> greg: i never got any help. >> kimberly: that is the problem. >> dana: when i first heard of this, that's what i thought

he must have meant. but i listened to it and watched it, and i thought, no, this is a fundamental philosophy. it is different. who made the money to pay the taxes that built the roads in the first place? we could play the house that jack built all day long. >> greg: chicken or egg? >> bob: he didn't say government help. >> eric: he talked about the infrastructure. where did that come from? government? all the roads, all that he talks about, the road got me to my job interview, could have been done better, more efficiently with the private sector. >> bob: how about the internet? the internet was paid for by the government. >> dana: initially for government use. >> bob: entrepreneurs took advantage of it and built good businesses. i agree. >> greg: he's less a president of the united states but more to a spokesperson for

big government. he's the government lizard. or flo? flo with a standing army. >> eric: you think this country -- gobs you think this country would be as strong without the government economically? >> kimberly: absolutely. >> greg: we understand the logic. not every family can have their own fire truck. we get that. but we've moved on from that argument. >> bob: every family have their internet? brought to you by the government. brought to you by the government. it was brought by the government. >> eric: are you going to take credit for the internet? c'mon. private sector wouldn't have come up with an internet or -- >> bob: they would haven't the resource to do it as big and as fast as the -- >> greg: don't forget -- >> kimberly: c'mon. >> dana: that is the thing, from the sheer political standpoint. if that had been an off-the-cuff comment you might have called it a gaffe. it was planned.

if you are on the campaign and you are thinking i mostly need -- we need independence, small business owners to lean toward us because they think they will get a fair shot under me than under romney. why would you say something like that? if you are a small business owner so let's talk about aunt patty sue who owns memory lane bowling alley. sleepless nights. hard work. they had to figure out how to run the whole system. they polished the floors themselves. they did all the paperwork. all of those things. basically saying yeah, yeah, yeah, that is not as important as what government has done for you. that is what people took away from it. >> kimberly: obama just doesn't get america. that's the problem. >> bob: he gets it fine. >> kimberly: he doesn't. >> bob: ask aunt sue if she had anybody that helped her. >> eric: maybe a bank. >> bob: maybe a bank. >> dana: everybody uses the road. >> bob: i'm saying i think somehow you take this and saying he is saying you wouldn't got there without

government. that's not what he said. without people like teachers who help them along the way. democrat's not what he said. >> bob: find a successful business person man or woman who cannot look back and say -- >> kimberly: you are saying something different. that's not what he said. >> bob: that is what he said. did he teacher? >> dana: if he had stopped after he said teacher, stopped there, it would have been okay. he went on and that revealed what they really think and their philosophy. >> kimberly: that's how we know. >> eric: it's not innovation or cooperation between companies, or intellectual property -- >> bob: wait. virtually every business, plastics or computers, all came from nasa, most of the space program. that was government funding. dabs not what he was talking about. >> bob: what do you think he's talking about? >> kimberly: us being dependent on the government. >> bob: somebody was dependent on nasa to get a lot of new innovative programs going. >> greg: he said

government -- >> bob: who is talking about a space program? it's a third of the economic development in the 1950s and '60s. >> greg: what he said is government did this for you. translated, you owe me. >> kimberly: big time. >> greg: what government owes you they can always take back. >> bob: that is your definition. >> greg: guess who decides what is taken snack who gets a fair share? he does. >> bob: what would you do without the inspector space program? >> greg: probably spending time with my family. >> kimberly: what about the numbers? look what happened to the economy under his world vision, to fundamentally change america. what do je to thank him for? >> eric: $16 trillion in debt. the longest stretch of higher than 8% unemployment in the history. 41 months in a row. you've got spending that exceeds revenues by $1 trillion or more. all four years under president obama. never happened before. any one time by a president. >> bob: if i could just, if i could argue for a second from the brain room here. this is not my figures.

2.5 million new jobs. 200,000 more jobs in construction. and the republicans demand the things like defense and intelligence and you have to pay entitlement and the national debt comes up to $2 $2.5 trillion. half a trillion dollars more -- >> eric: please, please. >> bob: what? >> eric: i will give you the brain room is right on the numbers when you put garbage in, garbage comes out. what date did you start? >> bob: stimulus began. >> eric: what date? >> bob: june 1. >> eric: we'll ignore the first six months of -- >> bob: the jobs that lost after inauguration day were his? >> eric: they don't count? >> bob: they were his? >> eric: cut out the first six months. >> dana: that is the bigger points. all the numbers may be true, i think that what they are look at in the next three months we found out that retail sales down three months in a row. that is what carrying the economic growth we had, the anemic growth we had. gdp in the first quarter

revised down from terrible 1.7% down to 1.4%. still the unemployment rate is stagnant at 8.2%. they say, even president obama says is not likely to change before november. those are the economic numbers. >> kimberly: you can't change -- >> eric: half the debt is -- >> bob: half the debt accumulated the republicans demanded it to be. >> greg: nobody is better off than they were four years ago. >> bob: c'mon! >> greg: that includes 3-year-olds. >> kimberly: they're struggling. >> greg: can't even let a joke go by. >> bob: i got it. i got it. you don't think you're better off than you were four years snag >> eric: not financially better off. >> bob: i see. >> kimberly: let voters decide in november if they want to continue with the fundamental transformation of america. do so at your peril. coming up, mitt romney hits back at the obama administration attack on his record at bain capital. >> i think when people accuse you of a crime you have every

reason to go after them pretty hard. what does it say about the president whose record is so poor all he can do in the campaign is attack me? >> kimberly: dana will help us sort it all out. that's coming up next when we come right back. stay with us. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] it isn't just your mammogram.

mitt romney through his own words and his own signature was misrepresenting his position at bain to the sec, which is a felony. >> she said if he was in fact not chief executive, the president, the sole shareholder and chairman of the company at the time, and that's what was filed that that would be a felony. she didn't hay he is a felon. >> stop whining. give him his own advice. stop whining. if you want to claim bain capital is the calling card for the white house, defend what happened. >> he didn't misrepresent anything. people on the obama side are so pathetic that this is all you've got to try to bring back the life a -- to life a

story that's been dead for months and years. >> dana: they are tacking about attack from the obama campaign last week on mitt romney saying, asking the question whether or not he left bain capital at the time. this is sols, greg, i know you were -- this is something, greg, you were in the fetal position under your desk all weekend worried about what happened on this thing. >> greg: this is right up there when i heard ann curry leaving "the today show." i was broken down. i could barely move. they had to bring my food to the bathroom. that's how horrible it was. the idea of barack obama criticizing mitt romney's business dealing reminds me of things. i came up with a quiz. it reminds me of "a," remind you of eric instructing you on how to tie a tie?

>> bob: i'm suggesting that somebody misrepresented his position. >> greg: you are a suggesting that is a felon? >> eric: this is going to blow up. >> bob: it is going to blow up. you can't keep saying you got out of the business in '99 when more an more documents come up that say you were there. in fact, today, a woman who worked there said -- i'm sure this will be out by tomorrow. he was involved in strategy discussions about some of the companies. if you are out of it, you are out of it. he declared he was out of it. but the fact is he wasn't. why didn't he say it? >> greg: he thought he was out of it. >> dana: do you have an hourly job, you are a lifeguard and then you say you know what? i've had it. i'm too stressed out. i'm out of here. there is no unwinding of the business. i'll tell you this, and i don't know all the details but i don't think this will work.

"washington post" showed what percentage of people say it's reason to vote against romney because he has business background and worked at bain capital? 25%. how many people think obama handling of the economy is important to their vote? 49%. >> bob: you're saying he worked at bain capital. >> dana: i said if romney sticks on the economy, the great line in wisconsin he said it's the economy and it's still the economy and we're not stupid. that is more effective than this little trial balloon we flew up. >> bob: but they didn't asked bain capital good for him in terms of being president? yes. bain capital if he misled us that he was involved in it, it would have been considerably higher. he has a problem. this weekend dominated by this thing. >> greg: not my weekend. >> eric: as the only person who spent time on board of directors i'll tell you number one, mitt romney name is not on this document. minit's the attorney.

you're trying to tell me because mitt romney said he was at the company at the time, the deals are done, mitt romney's name is on there? his name is not. >> bob: yes, he did. right here. >> eric: number two, unequivly, board of directors, if the ceo, chairman not in the boardroom he is not running the company. going on for three years. he wasn't running the company. >> bob: why did he say he was ceo and chairman -- chairman -- >> eric: he owned the company. he found it. >> bob: i see. >> eric: he discovered the company. like inventing this chalk. >> bob: if we have this one chalkboard here? this said that -- >> greg: show up to pop the corn. >> kimberly: you are so right. >> bob: two people responsible for running bain, the ones that can execute the deals. up until 2002. you can't see it, because, well, it was put together late. >> eric: this is field document. >> bob: yes did. >> eric: that is the point. >> dana: can i take both of those things and ask kimberly a yes. if you take bob's argument and okay, so romney was responsial

for deals under his watch. he should have known about everything husband that was happening, is it true for president obama when it comes to "fast and furious"? >> kimberly: oh, sure. eric holder and president obama want to fudge the numbers and say i'm not aware of that, i wasn't in charge when that happened. so it's okay -- >> bob: let's use the normal response to me. you are changing the subject. >> kimberly: i am not changing the subject i'm on point. >> dana: i asked about "fast and furious." >> kimberly: they are hypocritical with issues like this. they have nothing else to come after this man. where is president obama -- >> bob: if this man lied you don't think it's a problem to be president of the united states, if he flat-out lied? >> kimberly: i don't see evidence he lied. >> bob: 2002 he was involved with the company when he ran for governor. they have it flat. "boston globe" have him on two documents as the managing partner. >> dana: glen kessler gave them three pinocchios on it. live by the pinocchio and die by the pinocchio. >> greg: the thing i find

interesting is how the white house turned the media to a remote controlled forest. when it comes to jobs it's off. when it comes to "fast and furious," it's off. when it comes to bain, it's on. it's amazing. the story here is the media following a story that nobody cares about. they don't care. >> bob: they control the media like that? >> greg: hell, yeah. they control hollywood. they control the media. they control academics, because they're all leftist. >> kimberly: that is why they get mad at fox news. >> dana: weekly standard had a great story about the subtle power of the media worth checking out. thanks, everybody for the comments. lovely. coming up, up until this past weekend, if you have been working you have been paying for government to stay in business. it's only now, today, you get to keep the money you earned. eric will explain when we come back. ♪ ♪

your kids to have a good education. maybe you are paying for private healthcare or you are going around the system to pay to a doctor and take care of you for some ailment you might have. increasingly that is true. so this day becomes more important it's kind of sobe sobering. the year is half over. >> bob: i qualify for all three of those things you mentioned and i'm in the 1%. no question about that. most people don't have that kind of problem. the other thing, this includes local and state taxes? >> eric: absolutely. and regulation. >> bob: cost of taxes for gasoline and things like that? >> kimberly: reminds you how many day you work for free for the government. >> bob: for sake of argument, take things you would not want to have in the budget. say defense department budget. want to cut that? >> kimberly: do i want to cut the defense department? you know who you are looking at here. i don't think we should cut -- >> eric: you brought it up. you want to talk about it. go ahead. romney tax returns, go. >> bob: you talk to him this
